    Can Brazil Become a New Force in Christianity?

    Today this country is a labyrinth of Christian leaders, churches, movements and missions which would keep a researcher occupied for months just to locate and identify.

    When Is Heresy a Cult? A Biblical Approach to Addressing It

    Spiritual movements produce bizarre and often cult-like offshoots. Nowhere is this truer than in Brazil.

    An Epic Story of Evangelicals in Argentina

    If you think you have grasped the history of Argentina by seeing Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita, or having heard "Don't cry for me, Argentina," at least do a Google search.

    As Venezuela Crumbles, God Shows Himself Strong

    We wound our way through shouts of insults, as we worked our way to the Congress to meet with members. Streets were clogged. Business, even the Supreme Court shut down. Police in battle gear, and not just for show. It felt very much like my experience in Cairo in the 2011 "Spring" revolution.

But to underestimate religious sectarianism in the Middle East is to misunderstand one of its core realities.

  • Mideast Conundrum: Jewish Settlements and Jesus' Kingdom

    The establishing of the State of Israel, I have and do support. Finding a place for Jews in the 20th Century was the right thing to do. As well, God's covenant with the Jews stands and their place in the eschaton (the days of Christ's return) is assured.

  • Interview: Egyptian Pastor on the Revolution, Coptic-Evangelical Unity, Muslim Relations

    To radical Islamists, the church's pastor Dr. Sameh Maurice spoke wise words, and to the bereaved, he spoke words of comfort. Maurice, an evangelical pastor in Cairo, sat down with Brian Stiller, the global ambassador of the World Evangelical Alliance and a senior editorial advisor to The Christian Post, in late January in a conference center outside of Cairo, for a conversation about his church's active role in the recent revolution in Egypt, the improved relationship between the Coptic Church
